Lesson Title: Global Warming Research Project Day 2
State Standards: GLEs/GSEs
PS1 (7-8) – 4 Students demonstrate an understanding of states of matter by …explaining the effect of increased and decreased heat energy on the motion and arrangement of molecules. PS2 (7-8) – 7 Students demonstrate an understanding of heat energy by…explaining the difference among conduction, convection and radiation and creating a diagram to explain how heat energy travels in different directions and through different materials by each of these methods.
Context of Lesson:
This lesson is a trip to the library to allow the students in-class time to research their topics. While in the library the librarian or I will be going over MLA format for the research paper. Students will specifically learn about in text citation and how to write an appropriate work cited page.
Opportunities to Learn:
Materials:
Library or computer lab.
Exit Shhets
Professional Resources:
N/A
Classroom Environment:
Students will be working individually at the computers.
Differentiating Instruction:
Students with document disabilities will be given a modified for of the assignment. They will have the specific compare and contrast point given to them.
Cooperative Learning:
N/A
Depth of Knowledge:
Level 3 (Strategic Thinking)
Objectives:
Students will find four sources of information that is in reference to conduction, convection, and thermal radiation to 90% proficiency.
Students will properly cite the conduction, convection, and thermal radiation reference material in MLA format to 80% proficiency.
Instruction:
Opening:
Intro to why we are at the library and what is expected of them. I will also remind them of how to use citation machine.
